Chapter 596: The Great Gathering of the Season

Lakers post-game press conference, head coach Mike Murphy. D'Antoni claims that "the whole team has done their best". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At the Spurs' post-game press conference, Popovich said: The Lakers are a team with a long history and strong heritage, and it has taught our whole team a good lesson!

Duncan also spoke: I admire that Oriental boy, his future will not be weaker than Deacon Bay. Mutombo! I'm looking forward to playing with him next time!

Manu. Ginobili said: The Lakers showed me why basketball is so fascinating, because no matter how strong or weak, there is never a fixed number! I'm glad we got the last laugh! Bless the opponent!

Tony. Parker Road: ......

But the whole court, the Lakers' No. 29, was unusually silent.

It wasn't until an ESPN reporter kept asking him questions that he opened his mouth, his voice extremely impatient, extremely unhappy, and extremely unhappy, and said, "If you lose, you lose, what else do you want me to say?" Acceptance speech? This kind of thing is the best thing you ESPN people are at writing anyway, aren't you? Just use your imagination for yourself! ”

This was the only statement from the Lakers' No. 29 at the end of the court.

And this attitude has undoubtedly angered some "authoritative media" and "authoritative figures".

Soon, led by ESPN, he labeled Tang Qian as "arrogant and rude", and then used his authority and influence to spread it across the United States.

At the end of the series, the Lakers are out of the game with a big score of 3-4! -- Los Angeles Times.

Defeat is still glorious! The Lakers' lineup made me see the most moving thing in basketball! -- Orange County Chronicle.

Crazy Chinese Hot! G7 had 17 points, 39 rebounds, 13 blocks and 4 assists in one game, and in addition to a triple-double, he also tied an NBA record! Broke an NBA record! -- Bleachers.

Congratulations to Oriental Hot for tying Moses. Malone's playoff offensive rebounding record set on April 21, 1977! 15 frontcourt rebounds in a single game, which is amazing! At the same time, he also broke his own NBA playoff block record, from 11 to 13! -- Yahoo Sports.

In this round of the series, the average of 11.9 points, 21.9 rebounds, 7.6 blocks, 2.1 assists and 0.4 steals per game can be called the ultimate of modern blue-collar workers! In the future, his value will increase exponentially! Congratulations to the league for another 10 million blue leader is about to be born! - FOX Sports.

The season is not over yet, and many teams led by the Spurs have thrown an olive branch to the Lakers No. 29! -- Lakers Nation.

Mike. D'Antoni shouted that the Lakers should stay hot and not let go of future stars! But at present, the management of the Lakers has not expressed any attitude on this matter! -- Lakers Nation.

Just when the outside world was in an uproar, the management of the Lakers didn't pay attention to it at all. Kupchak is fully engaged in negotiations with Howard "Warcraft" for a contract extension. Although the process went well and Howard also expressed some loyalty to stay on the team, for some reason, the latter's agent, Dan. Fagan just kept "playing Tai Chi" and didn't touch the core for a long time. But Mickey. Kupchak didn't think much about it, after all, at present, the sincerity of cooperation between the two sides is still very sufficient, as long as he comes up with enough sincerity, then it should be "everything OK".

This time Mickey. Kupchak can be considered "self-inflicted", because Dwight . Howard's sincerity is not something that can be kept for a little dollar at all. Besides, California, where Los Angeles is located, is a well-known high-state tax area in the United States, and even if the Lakers offer a maximum salary, there are still many places where they can "actually" surpass the past.

On this point Howard's agent Dan. Fagan has explained in detail with the former. So Howard doesn't have to worry about his "American knife" shrinking at all. Moreover, Howard hates the Lakers to the bone this season, so if he doesn't slam the Lakers hard, he won't give up.

As for the renewal of Tang Qian's contract, the management of the Lakers did not take action at the first time.

This made the general managers of other teams gradually move when they heard the news.

Actually, it's not Mickey. Kupchak is too stupid to know the value of Tang Qian, even if he looked away before, then through his various performances this season, he can't be completely unconceptual. The bad thing is that the Los Angeles Lakers also have a "No. 1 center in the league" Dwight. Howard, and this "No. 1 center in the league" is obviously not going to deal with Tang Qian.

So the lesser of two evils, a little comparison of the value of the two sides, Mickey. Kupchak didn't have a hard time making a decision.

After all, a pure blue-collar player is no match for a healthy Howard, and as long as Howard is kept, the Lakers can avoid entering a rebuilding period in the next few years and still maintain a high level in the West.

Besides, he and Tang Qian also have a bit of a "personal vendetta" now, so Howard and the latter, Mitch. Kupchak's choice is clear at a glance.

After Tang Qian's end of this season, all the wages have been received, in addition to the 4 million base annual salary, some incentive funds have been activated, such as the second one, the league block king is achieved, and the cash reward of 500,000 yuan cannot be run. For example, the third one, winning the league's rebounding king, is another 500,000 cash prize. That adds up to $5 million. For example, the fifth one, which is achieved by SMOY, is another $1 million. In addition to the last rule six, a cash prize of $500,000 if you can be selected to the All-Star bench and $1 million if you can be selected to the All-Star starting lineup. Here is another 2 million in the account.

So adding up to a contract salary of $7 million this season, plus a series of endorsement fees, Tang Qian casually earned more than $20 million this season. Of course, the biggest one comes from the sneaker contract of AND1, which is 28 million US dollars for 2 years plus 15%~20% of the global sales profit dividend. Because sneakers have not yet been produced, the matter of dividends will not be talked about for the time being, but 14 million US dollars in one year, that is a sure thing. So seventy-seven-eighty-eight adds up, more than $20 million, that's the bare minimum.

However, this is a pre-tax salary, and after deducting taxes, it is about 1200~1300 US dollars.

But now Tang Qian's main concern is not this, but a new turmoil, which is about to surge.

"Do you want me to go into business? I can't go to China for the time being, don't they know? I'm still in a state of banning and can't get official recognition. Tang Qian said on the phone. On the other end of the phone, it was naturally his agent Zhou Zhiru. The latter replied: "It's not going over there, it's going to South Korea to propagandize, after all, you are of the Oriental race, and it is understandable to go to these countries with spending power and purchasing power." Of course, there is no need to go to Japan, as we have repeatedly stated. ”

After thinking about it, Tang Qian nodded and said, "South Korea, that's okay, you can arrange it, just tell me in advance when the time comes, otherwise I'm afraid that there will be a conflict in time." Zhou Zhiru asked a rare extra question when she heard this, and said, "What?" Are you busy with personal matters? ”

Tang Qian didn't think much about it, opened his mouth and said: "Well, it's okay, take advantage of this holiday, I want to continue to improve myself, and I can't waste a minute or a second of my time!" When Zhou Zhiru heard that it was a "private matter", she was slightly stunned at first, and then continued to ask: "The whole season only ended yesterday, and you are going to devote yourself to training so soon?" Why don't you take a break? ”

"I don't need to." Tang Qian said: "And I'm not in the mood to rest at all." ”

Zhou Zhiru paused and said: "Tang Qian, I know that you are in a hurry, and it is not easy to go out of the series, but the body also needs to be properly relaxed and rested, because our Asian physical condition is not as good as that of white and black people, so remember not to overwork." What happened to Yao Ming back then was a lesson from the past. Tang Qian heard the other party's concern, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, I know my own body best, and I won't repeat Brother Yao's incident." ”

"Brother Yao? Looks like you've met Yao Ming, right? Zhou Zhiru asked.

"Well, yes, he happened to be in Houston during the All-Star period, so I met by chance and had a light meal."

"Really?" After thinking about it, Zhou Zhiru said: "It's not a bad thing to have a good relationship with Yao Ming, because his influence in the domestic basketball world is unparalleled, if it weren't for being too young, I would estimate ......" "What do you estimate?" Tang Qian knew that Zhou Zhiru had relatives who were officials in her family, so he asked. It's nothing, it's just hearsay, it's all speculation, there's nothing to mention. Zhou Zhiru diverted the topic and said, "One more point, in a few days, we will go to the AND1 headquarters to measure the body and foot size, I heard that the designers and construction team over there have been prepared, just wait for us to pass." ”

Tang Qian said: "Didn't you measure it all last time?" Do you want to do it again? My training time is precious! ”

Zhou Zhiru replied directly: "This is the process, people think about your body, do you still pick and choose?" Don't worry, it won't delay you for long, 24 hours will be enough. Don't tell me you can't squeeze it out for 24 hours. Tang Qian muttered when he heard this, and said, "It will take 24 hours?" I thought half a day would be enough, alas. ”

When Zhou Zhiru heard this, she was so angry that she hung up the phone directly.

Domestic, basket tube center.

"What? Does that kid still refuse to give in? Sitting in a large Shar Pei chair, he asked, smoking a cigarette.

"Sorry, letter management, it's the same, they hardly give us any reply. It seems that if they do not agree to their terms, they will not let go. Chen Xin replied cautiously. Hum! Shame on the face! Do you really think of yourself as Yao Ming? Even Yao Ming himself, didn't he have to listen to my dispatch back then??? The letter pipe took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Now the Lakers game is over, right?" Give it another try, relax the conditions a little, and if you don't know each other again, don't blame me for not giving you a chance! Tang Qian! ”

Chen Xin nodded submissively, he knew in his heart that if Tang Qian didn't give Xinguan "face" this time, then he wouldn't be able to catch up with the qualifiers for this World Cup. Well, the so-called "FIBA Asian Men's Basketball Championship", it is said that it will be renamed the "Basketball Asian Cup" in the future, but there is no document yet.

And with the "total defeat" record of the London Olympics, this time the above said that it is necessary to make a breakthrough in the first "Basketball World Cup". This is also one of the reasons why the information management committee is so anxious and impatient. But it's easy to speak, and if you really want to make a breakthrough, you have to get the "admission ticket" first. This ticket is the "FIBA Asian Men's Basketball Championship".

You have to finish in the top three to stand a chance.

However, I always feel that the "Asian Championships" are easy, after all, it is the country that has won the most championships in the "Asian Championships", and the aura of 15 times is enough to throw off the second place Philippines in several dimensions and dimensions. Besides, isn't China also the champion of the "Asian Championships" in 2011? Entering the "Basketball World Cup" should be a "natural" thing, right? In fact, not to mention the above, including Xinguan, Chen Xin, and even the majority of domestic basketball fans, they all feel that the "Asian Championships" are a certainty.

It's normal to win a championship.

To put it mildly, Tang Qian himself didn't hear much about this "continental competition" when he was a child, because the Chinese team basically had no suspense. So just like table tennis, it's too easy to win a game, but basically few people will pay attention to it.

But everything, starting with the 27th Asian Championships, has changed.

And it is a change that is difficult for basketball fans all over China to accept.

The tournament was held in Manila, Philippines, from August 1, 2013 to August 11, 2013, for a total of 11 days. Therefore, with the pre-competition training, the determination of the squad, and the organization of warm-up matches, etc., it is necessary to determine which athletes will participate in June at the latest. It's already early May, and if you look at it this way, there is not much time left for the information management to "form a team". It's human nature for him to be a little impetuous.

Alas, I just hope that everything will go well.

Chen Xin thought of the 29th in the United States, and couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.

……

Just when Tang Qian was about to start preparing for "personal training", a person's phone could not be connected, which made him feel angry.

Who is this person? This person is the "Flower Worm" Rodman.

I don't know why, at the critical moment, this guy's phone has been in a message state!! This made Tang Qian, who had made almost 20 phone calls, almost go berserk, and roared loudly at the mobile phone: "Flower big worm!" I'm telling you! Tomorrow at the latest! If I don't hear from you again, our agreement will be written off! Then you're going to find the 'mighty' strong yourself. You. Target. Yang Bar!! ”

"I definitely mean what I say!!"

After a violent roar, Tang Qian angrily pressed the hang up button.

PS: Thank you for your support, I've been a little busy these days, and after this time, Xiaozi will definitely burst out to thank everyone~~~
